Hi Alexander Thanks for suggestions.
Sadly neither workaround works for me. Probably as I am using an Orange linebox - using the method described here http://www.orangeproblems.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=19235&sid=2975a93d5718ea39cf1a04afd0de8d98 as the livebox is odd. My Hardy Heron is still waiting for the livebox key (it does not realise it is already connected) - which may be why it thinks it must be offline. Confused? I am!
